《汉英会话语篇对比研》编著者王望妮。 

This book explores the ways top leaders practice communication at public dialogues. The theoretical foundations are made up of three different yet complementary orientations to language and discourse:Conversation Analysis (CA), Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) and Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL). For better insights into pub-lic dialogues, a combination method of both qualitative and quantita-tive is adopted for this project.
